That Article 8.4, "Public Improvements and Special Assessments", Section 8.4.1, "Authority to Make Special Assessments; Exceptions", of the Land Development Regulations of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, be, and the same is hereby amended to read as follows: (A) The City Commission is authorized and empowered, in the manner herein provided, to cause any and all streets, highways, boulevards, avenues, lanes, alleys, and parks or any part thereof, to be graded, paved, repaved, surfaced, or resurfaced, and to cause curbs and gutters to be constructed therein, and to install associated street lighting and landscaping, and sanitary sewers, storm sewers, sewers, and drains.r and to cause seawalls to be constructed or reconstructed and to cause canals or other waterways to be laid and constructed, and dredged, and to provide for the payment of the whole or any part of the cost thereof by levying and collecting special assessments upon abutting, adjoining and contiguous or other specially benefited property.

No. 3-94 MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS FROM: ~TY MANAGER SUBJECT: ~ENDA ITEM ~ [O. ~. - MEETING OF FEBRUARY 8. 1994 ORDINANCE $-94 AMENDING LDR ARTICLE 8.4 - SPECIAL DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 1994 Ordinance 3-94 revises Article 8.4, "Public Improvements and Special Assessments" of the City's Land Development Regulations. The revisions will permit the City to enact special assessments for the installation of street lighting, landscaping, seawall construction or reconstruction, and canal dredging. Special assessments like these are authorized pursuant to state statute; however, the City's codes provide for a simpler procedure. The existing City code does not cover special assessments for the above purposes. In order to process the Banker's Row special assessment, this revision is necessary. The inclusion of "canal dredging" and "seawall construction or reconstruction" is also requested in the event the City needs to complete such work in the future. Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 3-94 on second and final reading. [lTV OF DELRrI¥ BEIIgH CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE I:':\CS I MI LE 4(}7/278-4755 (407) 243-7090 MEMORANDUM Date: February 1, 1994 To: City Commission From: David N. Tolces, Assistant City Attorne~~ Subject: Method for Imposing Special Assessments At the last Commission meeting, a question was raised regarding the Commission's ability to specially assess improvements. The City Commission has the authority to initiate public improve- ments at its discretion and impose special assessments for those improvements. The City Commission may also initiate public improvements when the owners of a majority of the frontage of land liable to be assessed, petition the Commission. At this time, the City Commission may authorize improvements for sidewalks, sewers, storm sewers, street paving, curbing and grading of streets, and canal improvements. Florida Statutes Chapter 170 also authorizes the same types of improvements, as well as improvements for parking garages, mass transportation systems, and public recreation facilities. Proposed Ordinance No. 3-94 provides for the inclusion of additional types of improvements, including off-street parking, landscaping, street lighting and canal dredging . Passage of the ordinance will allow the City to enact special assessments for all of these improvements if the requisite need is shown to exist. Please call if you have any questions.
